Description Another little painting of the Northern Lights. I've decided to make a series. This one happened extra fast, but then there's not much scenery in it, just the magic. I also changed a bit the way I draw the Northern Lights. I did much more color variation this time, meaning I didn't just use a set palette as was my habit until now, but "broke up" colors some more. It's not very evident perhaps, but it adds more hue variation. Anyway, I hope you like it.

It's too beautiful to be true *panting with admiration* ... When I saw the notification, at first Β thought it, was photography, work is so realistic.

The Northern Lights is an incredible sight ... one more reason to visit Norway Β .

Ah well, I've had help with realism. But thank you so much, and I totally agree. The Northern Lights are pure magick!

Indeed, this is the most amazing magick of natureΒ ...
When I have enough to means, to break from from his country, I'd like to see the Northern Lights Β  with my own eyes. I do not like the cold, but it would be worth it would.

I hope you can go see it too one day. It's really beautiful and so.... so spiritual indeed, to watch as they dance in the sky above.

Unrelated, but since you mentioned your country, I've been wondering how you fare in there. I know only a couple of other people from Russia, and they kinda struggle.

I hope so))


Oh ... I can only describe it in two words - ALL BAD, so bad, that I do not want to talk about it. The place, where I was born and forced to live, resembles a cage, whose neighbors are gray and devoid of individuality, of which goal in life is limited to family and work. You would not want to be here, I think, it's the worst nightmare for a Satanist ... here VERY much shit xnity *dies in agony*

Sorry I asked in this case, I understand you wouldn't want to even think about it. I generally strive to know a little something about countries around the world, especially places where I have friends, but reliable information on Russia is a bit difficult to come by. Here a lot of people still have some idealistic view of it (my parents included).... well, not me. I admit I sought yet another confirmation of my own thoughts on it and you gave it to me, so thank you. I do hope, for your sake, that you can make it out of there.
Oh, no, that's out of the question, I wouldn't even visit Russia let alone go live in it.... I know a little about its.... xtian situation.

You're very good at painting and I remember seeing the northern lights up here in the north where I live.

Northern Norway, nearly 2 years ago. Going back now to see them more. And spend time with one of mah best friends, of course.

Yeah, 52, +/- 1, if I'm not mistaken XD I mean, I know them, and know roughly where most of them are, it's just when listing so many things at a time, you're always gonna forget a couple.

That's awesome! I always wondered what it was like in Norway, since I have friends from there.Β 

I remember taking geography and not getting a good grade because I couldn't remember most of the states- its so true lol.Β

It's wonderful! Back there, I remember, I could feel Nature, the wilderness, so much more powerful, the towering mountains of the fjords and the sea right in their feet. It's spectacular, and it feels powerful because humanity still hasn't overtaken most of the land. You feel its spirit all around you. I miss that where I live.

Nah, I didn't have good grades either, they taught geography in a silly manner. But I always loved maps, I like studying maps and learning all those faraway places. I always loved traveling....

The spirit of the wild, its a beautiful thing. Norway sounds like an amazing place, I'd like to visit when I go to Europe one day. Humanity is starting to take over the wilds where I live since we have a lake, and people like to have lake houses which is already causing problems.Β 

I love learning about different cultures and places, I'd travel if I was older lol.Β

They've taken over most of the planet.... At least in North America there are wilder places because they've had less time to expand. Here.... there's hardly places like that left. Scandinavia is an exception. But yeah....

I'm more interested in the wilderness wherever I go. I'm the kind of traveler that stays in a town just to wander in the wilds surrounding it XD

The wilderness is magical xD and full of so much life and wonders. Around where I live we have moose and black bears, they're a rare thing to see but its worth it
